St Joseph 'Petit Pere' Aymeric Paillard 2015

Concentrated, but not overly so, fresh and mineral, with taut compact fruit. The aromas are quite closed, but there is super tight blackcurrant, licorice, savoury wood and garrigue notes and a hint of pepper. The palate is firm but supple.

Tasting Notes

2015: a very warm vintage. The wine is held together by a big tannic structure, with ripe fruit and a finely balanced level of acidity. Petit P+¿re 2015 was bottled in August 2017 after 22 months' ageing in different-sized (from 228-600 litres) oak barrels from new up to seven years old. Concentrated, but not overly so, fresh and mineral, with taut compact fruit. The aromas are quite closed, but there is super tight blackcurrant, licorice, savoury wood and garrigue notes and a hint of pepper. The palate is firm but supple.
